In this week’s episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re talking all about urinary incontinence.

This is a really common urinary disorder and it’s not just our older dogs who are affected by it - it’s seen commonly in younger patients, too, and nurses are often heavily involved in their diagnostics, treatment, and ongoing care.

If you’ve ever thought that managing these cases is as simple as ‘dispense Propalin, and then discharge’, this episode is for you. We’ll look at what commonly causes urinary incontinence in dogs, some of the more weird and wonderful treatments we can use to manage urinary incontinence, as well as the nursing skills these patients benefit from.
